From James Fradgley, Wimborne, Dorset, UK
Reading your leader about the origin story of life, I was reminded of how people conflate the idea that “survival of the fittest” means “ruthless”. It doesn’t. It means “survival of one who best fits the environment in which it finds itself”. In saying competition is what it’s all about, Charles Darwin did not suggest what the nature of that competition might be (Leader, 30 May).
